Chinese writer Mo Yan won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature, the Swedish Academy (瑞典文学院) announced on October 11.
10月11日,瑞典文学院宣布中国作家莫言摘得2012诺贝尔文学奖桂冠。

Mo Yan, the first Chinese national to win the prize, said that he was “surprised” and “delighted” at his winning.
莫言作为第一位此奖项的中国籍作家,他说他感到很惊讶,同时也表示很高兴。

Mo Yan, whose real name is Guan Moye (管谟业), was born in 1955 and grew up in a small village in Gaomi (高密), Shandong province.
莫言,原名管谟业。生于1955年,山东高密的一个小村庄。

Many of his novels are set in his hometown, including his best known work, Red Sorghum (《红高粱》). The novel was made into an Oscar- nominated film by director Zhang Yimou in 1987. Some of his works have been translated into English, French, Japanese and many other languages.
他很多小说都以他的家乡为背景,其中包括他最著名的作品《红高粱》。1987年,这本小说由张艺谋导演翻拍成同名电影,获得奥斯卡提名。他很多小说都被翻译成英语,法语,日语及其他语言的版本。

After learning that he had won the prize, Mo thanked his hometown for inspiring him. He said in a television interview that he was very thankful to the land where he grew up and that he goes back there every year.
莫言在得知他获奖之后,他表示很感谢他家乡对他的启迪。他在电视采访时说他非常感谢那片养育了他的土地,他每年都会回去。

The academy said in a statement: “In his writing, Mo Yan draws on his youthful experiences and on settings in the province of his birth. This is apparent in his novel Red Sorghum.”
文学院在声明中说:“在他的文字中,莫言展现了他年轻的经验,表现了他家乡的风貌。此特征在他的小说《红高粱》中表现明显。”

Through a mixture of fantasy and reality, historical and social perspectives, Mo Yan has created such a complex world that reminds people of those in the writings of William Faulkner* and Gabriel Garcia Marquez*; at the same time, he has found a departure point (出发点) in old Chinese literature and in oral (口头的) tradition, the academy commented.
文学院评论说,莫言通过对虚幻与现实,历史与社会的交错描述,表达了一个复杂的世界,这让人们不禁想起了威廉•福克纳,马奎斯的写作风格;同时,他也找到了中国古典文学和口头传统文学的出口。

The winner of the prize will be awarded a gold medal, a diploma and 8 million Swedish kronor (about 7.5 million yuan).
 诺贝尔文学奖的获得者将荣获一枚奖牌,一张证书,8亿克朗(折合人民币约750万)。
